DICE Et1fsSI

Decembers come, and with her brought
4 world in whitest comfort wrought;
The trees and fence and all the posts
Stand motionless and white rs ghosts.
And all the paths we used 10 know
Are hidden in the drifts OF snow.
December brings the longest night.
And cheats the day of half its light.
No birdsong breaks the perfect hush:
No meadow brook vita liquid gush
Runs telling tales i'll babbly rhymes
Of liberty and summer time:
But frozen in its icy cell.
Awaits the sun to break the spell.
Breathe once upon the window glass.
And see the mimic mists that pass
Fantastic shapes that go and come,
Forever silvery and dumb.
December Santa Claus shall bring
OF happy children, happy king,
Who, with his sleigh and reindeer, stops
At all good peoples chimney tops.
Then let the holly red be hung,
And all the sweetest carols sung.
While we with JOY remember them
The journeyers to Bethlehem.
Who followed trusting from afar.
The guidance of that happy star
Which marked the spot where Christ
was born,
Long years ago. one Christmas morn.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Some eleven
Or twelve years Stree, an old gentle
man, hailing from Yorkshire, England
visited this section and spent several
months, examining the coal fields OF
this county. After thorough, though
quiet examination, he satisfied himself
! that immense quantities of it were
embedded in our soil, but practically
worthless for lack of Transportation
facilities. No railroad then penetrat-
ed the county. So the old gentleman
returned home and the coal remained
ed undisturbed in its natural deposit.
Nothing more was heard of him and
his visit passed out of the minds of
our people. Meanwhile the C. T. &
! V. r. r. steadily pushed forward
and early in the present year invaded
our borders. 1t passed directly
through the coal regions of the county
Still, our people saw no immediate
prospects Of development But, not
withstanding old ocean and many
miles INTERVIEWED, the old English min
er eyed the progress of events, and
scarcely had the train reached Wal
nut Cove before he set about arrang-
ing to return. He interested an Eng
lish syndicate of great wealth in the
enterprise, came over and leased most
OF the territory covering the coal beds.
He now has large force of hands at
work and is meeting with very graft
tying success. He is pleased with
both the quantity and quality. He
has struck some large veins Of excel
lent anthracite coal aud IS prosecut-
ing the work with energy. IF tie
mines turn out as he is confident they
will, they would prove not only
source Of great revenue to his syndi
cate, but of much benefit 10 Walnut
Cove and the whole county Other
mining operations would follow. It
would be the opening wedge in the
working Of the vast iron ore in the
county. It would put this section On
a boom that would be substantial and
permanent-on that brother Watson
would never live to ''sineH the carcass
of" One thing, however, is needful
to the consummation of such Il result,
and that is branch road to or near
the county seat where the iron mines
are. Such q road is absolutely essen
tial and viii inevitably be built. but
Of course the sooner the better.
Our county is pretty badly behind
and cur people for some time have
been taxed up to the constitutional
limit. Hence, it would be idle to
talk Of voting a subscription for such
a purpose. All we can now do is to
offer splendid inducements to others
to build such road. If Winston
would like to help herself by helping
us, she would do well to take the mat
ter under consideration and 'strike
while the iron is hot With such
road, together with the one to Wilkes
boro, her already phenomenal growth
would increase and she would increase
and she would stand without rival
in Western North Carolina. Should
she remain inactive and permit Others
to utilize her possibilities, the chances
are that she has enjoyed her palmiest
days. Come and join us and we will do
thee good. JoHN SMITH.

Mr.. Pearson has youthful appear

has high cheek bones, and his face,
though not handsome, gives evidence
OF gravity, thought and determination.
lie looks one squarely in the eye, and
means business as he approaches you,

"dead-heads" in the christian ranks,
and tells them to lay off their sloth and
go to work, or ge5 out Of the way Of
others willing TO work. He does not
impress You as an orator, but there is
something that charms and enlists
your attention from the beginning to
the end of his sermon. The sea of up
turned faces attests intense interest on
the part Of the listeners.

He is spladid logiciaa, and knows
how to meet the cavilier, the skeptic,
and the subterlugcs Of unbclievers
generally. His sermon on Sunday
night, Nov. 20th, on the divinity Of
Christ, was strong effort, and we

It. Every inch of rom in The great

The other evening I was the guest

was late, the household had dined, and
I ate my bread and boiled beans alone.
The mother of the family stood near
shelf in reach of milk jug, but
presently leaning over she gazed at
my end of the table intently.
"Ain't ye got nair knife thar ?' she
jerked out, as the guest ate beans with
his fork.
"Yes,' he replied, "but I cut with
my knife and eat with my fork
"Law, sakes alive! A fork don't
hol' nigh 'nough for me-" came the
answer
1 like that woman. She said what
was true and unaffected. It is refresh

Nightly my good friends here kick off

There are sham everythings now-a-

hiding greasy linen, to your sham
Hammonds with roomful of awe-in-

powders, see advertisement, and your
sham patriots shedding hypocritical
tears over that poor old shirt. And
there is your churchman who says

hand which didn't hold "a pair
And that sham, with political aspira-
tions and a religious constituency,
who pulls down the corner of his
mouth and holds up the corner of the
church whilst his inmost soul ridicules
your idols; and there are your sham
gentlemen with silk hats and obscene
Jests, and that other old sham with his
white hair dyed a purplish black.
And what with your saw-dust coffee,
and your glucose sugar, and your tale
